  The main column of the Manifest theme is 500 pixels. It might be that others are using a different theme than yours. Please review this page to explore more and wider themes.

  Please note that you can control the appearance of your blog with a Custom Design upgrade, if you’re experienced with CSS:

  Is it possible to make the main column wider when you use Manifest theme if you upgrade my account? How do I do then?

  Custom Design is an optional paid upgrade. You can add it using the Store page in your blog dashboard.

  Before you buy the upgrade, you can also try it out for free using the preview funtion on the Appearance → Custom Design → CSS page.

  To get specific help with CSS, there is a CSS Customization forum where you can get help and there are even a few people who have already discussed widening the Manifest theme. Here’s one example that you can try: https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/where-do-i-start-i-purchased-the-custom-design-option?replies=7#post-656351
